    I can't see myself really disappointed. We'd like a boy this time, but I'd be just as happy having another girl. I have heard of women getting upset and sulking when their baby wasn't the sex that they wanted. I find that incredibly immature. You aren't guaranteed the sex that you want when you get pregnant, just a 50 / 50 chance.

    I don't think that's fair to say and it is actually a bit judgmental.  There is nothing wrong with always dreaming of having a child of a certain sex and being disappointed when you don't get that sex.  It's not mourning the child you are getting, but rather the child you will never have.

    Our family is most likely 2 and done.  If we have another boy, I will feel a bit of sadness for the daughter I'll never have.  I am not ashamed to admit that.  I have always wanted a daughter.  I will love my boys just the same.  I don't think that's immature at all. 


    That part of my post is referring to the women who literally throw fits because the child is not the sex that they want. I'm not talking about a moment of sadness, I'm talking about toddler quality fits and sulking which I have seen women do. I can understand experiencing a moment of sadness, especially if it's your last.

    I would like a boy but mostly just becuase I'm lazy and could reuse everything from DS.  At the end of the day though, I'm just stoked that it looks like we might really have a FREE BABY on the way.  Hell, we saved enough money on not doing an FET to cover all the girl clothes in the world.  lol

    I won't be disappointed either way with this pregnancy. I'd genuinely be happy with a boy or a girl. That said though, if this one is a boy I will be crossing my fingers that the next is a girl! I can handle two girls but the thought of two boys is overwhelming since I don't know what to do with them! There are no males in my family lol
